Copper
Copper, an ancient metal with a rich history of over 10,000 years, possesses exceptional properties like high electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as corrosion resistance. Despite its vast reserves, only a small fraction is economically viable due to current prices and technologies, with estimates suggesting 25 to 60 years of available mining reserves. Through alloying with elements like tin, copper gains hardness, giving rise to durable alloys like bronze, celebrated for its moldability. The Egyptians pioneered copper hardening methods and introduced the ankh symbol, symbolizing enduring life. Over time, a diverse range of copper-based alloys, with high corrosion resistance, emerged to meet specific needs. Approximately 400 copper and copper-alloy compositions exist, categorized into different types, offering a multitude of applications in modern industry.
